I’ m using parser like this,

 list = (from story in xmlTweets.Descendants("value")

                             select new ViewModel
                             {
                                 group= story.Attribute("name").Value,

                             }).ToList();

list1 = (from story in xmlTweets.Descendants("team")

                             select new ViewModel
                             {
                                 position= story.Attribute("position").Value,
name= story.Attribute("name").Value,
won= story.Attribute("won").Value,
lose= story.Attribute("lose").Value,

                             }).ToList();

output:

Group A

Group B

1  India 10  5
2  pak    5  10

1  Aus        5    5
2  Neszeland  5   5

Please tell me some idea to do this.

Currently you’ve got two separate lists – one for groups and one for teams. It looks to me like your view model needs to be richer – something like:

list = xml.Descendants("value")
          .Select(group => new GroupViewModel
          {
              Group = (string) group.Attribute("name"),
              Results = group.Elements("team")
                             .Select(team => new TeamViewModel
                             {
                                 Position = (int) team.Attribute("position"),
                                 Name = (string) team.Attribute("name"),
                                 Won = (int) team.Attribute("won"),
                                 Lost = (int) team.Attribute("lose")
                             })
                             .ToList()
          })
          .ToList();
